%N Primes whose reversal + 1 is a cube.

%C From _Jon E. Schoenfield_, Jul 03 2023: (Start)

%C Equivalently, primes whose reversal is one less than the cube of a positive integer whose last digit is not a 1.

%C Since no prime starts or ends with a 0, reversing the prime will not change the number of digits, and since no prime consists only of 9's, adding 1 to its reversal will not change the number of digits, either, so the cube will have the same number of digits as the prime. Since the prime cannot begin with a 0, its reversal cannot end in 0, so the cube cannot end in 1 (and a cube ends in 1 if and only if its cube root ends in 1). Since cubes are less dense than primes, a reasonably efficient but simple way to search for all terms having at most D digits is to test each positive integer r < 10^(D/3) such that r mod 10 != 1: if the reversal of r^3 - 1 is a prime, then that prime is a term of the sequence.

%e 421 is prime and reversal(421) + 1 = 124 + 1 = 125 = 5^3.

%e 364751 is in the sequence because it is prime and reversal(364751) + 1 = 157463 + 1 = 157464 = 54^3.
